Re: [orca-list] Gnome 3.4 and Desktop Sounds

["Alex Midence" <alex midence gmail com>]

KDE has system sounds.  At least, I think they do.  I still get a login sound when I fire it up, at any rate. 
 So, it's just Gnome, not all of Linux.

Hi Dave,

Yeah, I saw that. Unfortunately, I want to do more than just change the alert sound. I use to be able to 
assign sounds for various things such as login, logout, clicked, question, and things like that. Now, it 
looks like someone at Gnome just decided to yank the sound themes out for some unknown reason. In my opinion 
it really detracts from the end user experience because the other leading operating systems Mac and Windows 
have system sounds so why not Linux?
